293: Frequency for Muscle Growth
How many times each week should you train a muscle? In the bodybuilding world there is a belief that intensity and recovery are key.

Studies are now confirming what Sal, Adam & Justin have been saying since the inception of Mind Pump, that more frequent stimulation of the muscle builds more muscle. In this episode they reveal why and what you need to know to successfully incorporate frequency into your workout regimen to increase your muscle growth. Please subscribe, rate and review this show!
